Tour Details

Located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean. With its favourably warm climate, steady winds, unique natural beauty, and open-minded, friendly people, Cuba sailing goes beyond any vacationer’s dreams. When Christopher Columbus discovered the island in 1492, he said: “This is the most beautiful land one has ever seen.”

Your trip to Cuba entails getting a Tourist card first. Except for the citizens of visa-exempt countries, all travelers need a Tourist card to cross the Cuban border, and US nationals make no exception. You can get the Cuba Tourist card in the US using one of the multiple available ways. You can visit the nearest Cuban embassy, and you can get one at the airport when you leave (just keep in mind that not all airlines can help you with that).

Cuba Sailing Route

Day 1Cienfuegos

Spend the next seven days sailing the idyllic islands of Cuba, which are set among the beauty of the Caribbean Sea. Discover hidden beaches with untouched sands, clear blue waters and, if you’re lucky, a turtle or two. By day, relax and chill out on the deck of the yacht, taking in the glorious Carribean surrounds; by night, enjoy island-style barbeques and unwind with new friends beneath the stars.

Day 2Cayo Largo del Sur

The second-largest of the islands in the Canarreos Archipelago, home to some of the best beaches in the region. One stretch of beach is 13 km of the cleanest, whitest sand. The island is also home to nesting sites of loggerhead and green turtles. For those that way inclined, nudism is tolerated on certain beaches.

Day 3Cayeria los Majaes

A small group of beautiful islands with surrounding sand banks and shallow pools, excellent for snorkelling. The pools are less than half a metre deep, and with a sea temperature of around 30°C they are perfect for lazing around in. Look out for a large colony of iguanas on the eastern shore of the western pool.

Day 4Cayo Alcatraz

Pristine beaches of white sand where you can spot stingrays and manta rays. If you are not fond of snorkelling in deeper waters, you will find these more shallow waters a dream.

Day 5Cayo Rico

Arguably the perfect beach, with brilliant waters, soft white sand and a bar that serves up a range of cocktails. There are many umbrellas under which to enjoy a drink. There are also friendly resident iguanas here.

Day 6Cayo Estopa

An uninhabited island with a deep water channel. This is the perfect place to throw out a line and catch the night’s dinner.

Day 7Cayo Rossario

Also uninhabited by people, this island teems with sea life – moray eels, groupers, barracudas, lobsters and the odd reef shark to name a few. The nearby reef is great for snorkelling.

Day 8Cayo Cantiles

Known as ‘Monkey Island’, Cayo Cantiles is uninhabited, with the exception of a small number of workers who tend to a monkey sanctuary. This island too is home to iguanas, and a funny rodent-like animal called a jutia.
